THAT SNUB.

LhAl ON u %.
The story about the snubbing of Gov
ernor and Mrs. Foraker by Mrs. Cleve-
land at the centennial celebration it
seems has two sides. While Gen. a. S.
Bushnell of the governors staff claims
that Mrs. Cleveland did deliberately
snub and refuse to recognize either
Governor Foraker or his wife, Mr..
Thompson, the republican chairman of
the centennial reception committee,
denies the statement point blank, and
positively asserts that Mrs. Cleveland's
reason for not shaking hands with the
FOrakers was that before they adj
vanced to greet her she had desisted
from shaking hands at his request.
Assuming that Bushnell has been
correctly reported, the question arises
which is right, Bushnell or Thompson?
The former did not know of the under
standing between the latter and the
presidents wife concerning the hand
shaking matter, and was and is inter
ested in pushing Foraker's political
fortunes. Thompson knew that it was
in obedience to his request that Mrs.
| Cleveland declined to shake hands with
Foraker and others, and, being repu5-
lican, has no interest in the episode
further than to tell the truth concern
ing it. The circumstances clearly indi-
tate that he is the better informed,
more disinterested, and more veracious
witness, and establish that the wife Of
the president did not snub the governor
of Ohio.
l. But even if the lady had done so,
where would be the good in all the sense
less comments and abuse heaped upon
one who heretofore has been so highly
praised and so highly held in public es-
timation? Human nature is but hui
man nature, whether exemplified by the
actions of the wife of the day laborer
or the president of the United States.
Especially is this so among young new
ly married ladies-or even unmarried
misses. Let any one of our readers
who has a young wife, or has a sister,
or has ever even associated to any great
extent with young ladies, think over the
many times incidents similar to this al
legged snub have come under his
observation, and judge whether he
would blame his own wife or sister
were they to act as it is claimed Mrs.
Cleveland did? Nine out of ten, we
believe, would in their hearts love her
all the more for what might be termed
at most only fOolishness, and even if
any had the temerity to find fault
for impoliteness, the fault would prob
ably end with a kiss. Most assuredly
would this be the termination were he
as much in love as Grover Cleveland is
generally credited with being.
But, snub or no snub, we doubt much
whether even the best republicans will
concur in the articles in some rad
ical papers which take her to task in
such hard manner for what at the
worst can only be considered as one of
the recognized rights of society lady
were she not the wife of an official.

sORGHUH SUGAR.

Now. that it has been proved that
sorghum syrup can be manufactured
into the best Of sugar by an inexpen-
sive process, sorghum sugar factories
will be built all over the state. With
a good demand for cane-Which must
come-our farmers viii always have
one crop they can depend on, as no sea-
son in Kansas is ever too wet or too
dry, nor any land too poor to grow
good crop. The following on this sub
ject from the Usage City Free Press
seems to us extremely pertinent, and
may be worthy of attention by our
readers:
1t appears to be determined at last
that good, merchantable sugar can be
profitably produced from the sorghum
cane in Kansas and other parts of the
United States. The solution of the
problem has been constantly sought for
twenty-five years through all discour-
agements, but perseverance has at last
been rewarded by complete success.
One sugar mill at Fort Scott, Kansas,
is now turning out 10000 pounds OF
good, granulated sugar per day. From
each ton of cane stalks there is being
extracted from los to ITO pounds of SUI
gar, besides ten or twelve gallons of
mOlaSseS, and from the tops are taken
two bushels of seed, worth as much as
corn for feeding purposes. An average
acre of fairly good sorghum grows ten
or twelve tons OF stalks, the gross value
of which is fully 800 per acre, to be
divided between the grower and manu-
facturer.
The secret of this great success is in
the introduction of the aO-calIad diffu.
sion process for extracting the juice
from the cane and the use of carbonate
of lime for clarifying the syrup and
causing it to granulate into good sugar
Making sugar from sorghum cane is
now claimed to be as simple and sure as
making flour from wheat. 1t is only
necessary to build mills in farming re-
gions where the sorghum cane grows
well and ripens early enough to escape
September frosts. Probably no part OF
| the Union is better adapted to the
growth of the cane than Kansas. Moth
| ing seems now necessary except to du-
| plicaJe the sort of machinery and en-
| ploy the processes used at Fort Scott
/ and to grow the cane to supply the
mills.
The demand for good homegrown
sugar can be imagined when it is stated
| that the crude saccharine imported
| from Cuba and elsewhere costs thiS
country considerable over $50, 900 900 {
year, and on which the people pay ;
| tariff of $50 ,000, 900. 1t takes nearly al
the wheat this country exports to pay
/ for the sugar and molaSseS imported
This country will never be fairly indie
| pendent of other countries in supplying
its wants until it produces its own sweet
ening and has some ''taffy'' to spare t.

murdered on the Highway.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. sept. 26.-Re-
ports give the particulars of another
crime in Stone county. A few days
since John Hardcastle, who had been
living in Nixon township, started to
move to the Arkansas valley with his
family to spend the contemplating sea-
son. He had not proceeded many miles
until some person unknown hailed him
from the brush, calling him a id hog
thief, and daring him to GENE out and
settle the matter. Hardcastle stopped
his wagon and, gun in hand, started up
hill in the direction of the voice.
About thirty feet from the wagon he
received a volley and fell MORALLY
wounded, the buckshot penetrating his
body, limbs and head. Five persons
have been arrested for the crime. and
one of them has turned states evil
dence and charges Sam Branscomb with
the crime. Branscomb had previously
had two difficulties with the deceased,
one of them on the morning of the day
of the killing.

The band marched up Commercial
street Sunday in fine uniform to the
music of the "Scotch Medley's'' and
attracted considerable of a crowd on
the street to see what was going on.
at the corner of Sixth they
turned and marched to the Mis-
souri, Pacific depot. There were four
or five hundred people there before
leaving time and the waiting room and
platform were literally packed as the
extra backed up and received its load,
which scarcely diminished the crowd
in the least. The regular train soon
pulled in and was soon crowded to
overlooking with the noisy excursion
lists and standing room was not to be
had. There were eight or ten coaches in
all. The G "A. r. post from Council Grove
and other points along the line were
well represented. The band numbers
sixteen pieces, is in very good trim
for the trip and will be decided credit
to this city. Several Of the posts from
this city went by way of the Santa Fe
Saturday night. The excursions train
will return Friday.

Removing a Serious Obstruction Gen


Dynamite and giant powder might
answer admirably to remove
distractions from Hell Gate in East
River, New York, but explosive
measures in medication are ever at
tended disastrous consequences. For
instance, the bowels cannot be violently
drenched with safety, nor is there the
slightest necessity for so doing. On
the contrary, it is most unwise. None
but the purblind adherents of anti
quated theories in medicine advise or
sanction such course. To weaken the
intestines-the effect of drastic purg-
ation-is to compromise the health of
the entire system. With Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. on the other hand,
the bowels are relaxed, not by a
convulsion of nature approximating to
an eruption of Mt. POpocatapetl, but
gradually, beneficially, without
Wrenching or drenehing. The liver
and stomach, as well as the bowels,
are toned and benefited by it.
